Two local marching bands were in competitive action over the weekend and came home with some hardware.

For the second week in a row, the Spirit Lake High School Marching Band won its competition taking the top spot in Class #A at Starfest in Sioux City while also placing fourth in overall competition.

The Spencer Tiger Marching Band went the other direction on Saturday to the Algona Band Day Festival where they took first place in Class 3A parade and fourth in field show.

Both bands will compete again this weekend in the Iowa Highschool Music Association Marching Band Festival in Sheldon.
